zoloft? and baby measuring behind questions

I have 2 questions. Today I found out were having a baby girl I also found out she is measuring 2 weeks behind. Has anyone measured behind and everythinf been ok? Is there anything to do so the baby will catch up?

My other question, has anyone ever took zoloft while pregnant? How did it go? Is it actually really safe? TIA!

I've heard zoloft is safe and commonly prescribed. I think the defects associated with it (very very rare, like 14:100,000 chance) are heart related. I doubt it's anything major or something caused by the zoloft.

I'm in my second week of taking Zoloft as prescribed by my OB and not only do I feel amazing but I read every nook and cranny online to see about the side effects and possible harm to baby... It basically boils down to if it would be more beneficial to have you on the mood stablizer as to not.. There are of course risks and various studies have shown that offical birth defects couldn't be perfectly linked back to the medication. As PP (previous poster) said up there the only thing I found was the heart effects but again, very unlikely.

And as for the other part I haven't experienced behind in growth.. Did you doctor seem concerned? How far along are you compared to your LMP?

My U/S (ultrasound) and MW both said they don't worry about the baby measuring off unless its more than 2 weeks. At this stage, thats a big difference. Have you already talked to your DR about the difference? If not, please do so ASAP. It could be nothing, but two weeks is a lot. This only applies if your measuring two weeks behind a due date provided by your DR at your previous appts.

My baby has measured a few days behind but they aren't concerned at this point.

I have no clue about Zoloft but we just found out that our twins are behind in growth. The first day of my LMP was June 30th so I should be 19 weeks and 3 days. Well on Tuesday the ultrasound technician said the boys are very small and look to be around 16 or 17 weeks. They moved my due date to April 28th but said they weren't going to let me go full term because its very risky since I am so small. My original due date was April 6th
